Overview
In Show Me Where It Hurts , Monica Chiu argues that
graphic pathography-long-form comics by and about subjects who
suffer from disease or are impaired-re-vitalizes and re-visions
various negatively affected corporeal states through hand-drawn
images. By the body and for the body, the medium is subversive and
reparative, and it stands in contradistinction to clinical accounts
of illness that tend to disembody or objectify the subject.
Employing affect theory, spatial theory, vital materialism, and
approaches from race and ethnic studies, women and gender studies,
disability studies, and comics studies, Chiu provides readings of
recently published graphic pathography. Chiu argues that these
kinds of subjective graphic stories, by virtue of their narrative
and descriptive strengths, provide a form of resistance to the
authoritative voice of biomedicine and serve as a tool to foster
important change in the face of social and economic inequities when
it comes to questions of health and healthcare. Show Me Where
It Hurts reads what already has been manifested on the comics
page and invites more of what demands expression.
Pathbreaking and provocative, this book will appeal to scholars
and students of the medical humanities, comics studies, race and
ethnic studies, disability studies, and women and gender
studies.
